Wig Info

If you are purchasing a wig because of hair loss or thinning, regardless of the reason, some insurance plans will cover wigs, top pieces or extensions. No insurance? It is also tax deductible, so ask your doctor for a prescription for a medical hair prosthesis. We do not need to see your prescription, but if you do make a purchase, your invoice will say “medical hair prosthesis” We know how difficult it is if you are buying a wig because of chemo treatments or hair loss/thinning for other reasons, but want you to know that times have changed and many ladies are wearing wigs now for convenience. Wigs can be to our advantage because of our busy lifestyles. So don’t think of a wig as just temporary, because if you like your wig it comes in handy for trips or bad hair days! Many ladies wear their wigs even with full heads of hair.

Your body climatizes to a wig if you wear it all the time.

I have been losing my hair, will wearing a wig cause it to get worse? NO, you hair loss is from within. We have verified with a dermatologist and the answer is that a wig will not cause hair loss.

Someone told me their wig fell off, that scares me. Will it fall off? If a wig falls off, that means the wig is not fitting properly. Wigs have to be fitted. We are experts and can do the necessary alterations. You don’t get a proper fitting if you are order online or someone gives you a wig.

I can always spot a wig, do all wigs look bad or fake? No, as a matter of fact, most wigs look so natural, you can not tell it’s a wig. You can spot the bad ones, but not the good ones! Same thing with men’s toupees, most of us have seen a bad toupee, but guess what? There are men wearing toupees and you can’t tell.

Do I have to shave my head to wear a wig? No. Hair is piled up in a wig cap. Ladies with long hair can wear short wigs. You just need the experts to show you how.

What is better? Human or Synthetic?
It really depends on the reason you are getting a wig. Synthetic wigs require less time for styling. But if you want to straighten your hair one day and maybe curl it the next, a human hair wig would be the best choice for you.

Why would I need a wig? I have my own hair! You many not need a wig, but every woman should have a wig! Think back to a bad hair day or a time when you had to run out for something and your hair was not done? After getting a wig, you will wonder how you managed without it!

I heard I should not cook when I have my wig on, is this true?
With a synthetic wig on, you have to avoid extreme heat. Opening up a hot oven, barbequing, putting a log on the fire. Any extreme source of heat that would cause you to back away is too hot for your wig. It will not go up in flames, but you will singe the ends. If this happens, it may be repairable. Bring it in to your experts and we can have a look at it for you.
